One of the DoS events was caused by a brand-new Sony VAIO that I personally unpacked out of its shipping carton and plugged into the network myself. While theoretically possible (it's happened a few times before during the last few decades), I doubt that the thing shipped with a worm. -- Joey Kelly < Minister of the Gospel | Linux Consultant > http://joeykelly.net "I may have invented it, but Bill made it famous." --- David Bradley, the IBM employee that invented CTRL-ALT-DEL
